FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK is pretty common, too. And the equivalent version of “argh.”

Around here I hear a lot of “Tabernac!” (Quebecois for “goddamn” basically) but I have been adding some good ol’ American “Son of a WHORE”s and “Fuck my ass raw”s to the mix.

Don’t forget, “Go away or I’ll replace you with a VERY SMALL SHELL SCRIPT!”

Hey Guys,
Just want to say thank you for del.icio.us and all the cool ideas you’re putting into it.

Is that a Mac mini on a silver cushion I see in the photograph?
joshua | May 11 2005 at 8:50 pm

I understand not wanting to be a circa-2000 startup, but guys, man, you should go a LITTLE higher-class than $5 plastic chairs from Wal-mart. 8-)
undersaur | May 11 2005 at 10:54 pm
i think all programmers anticipate this one with both eagerness and anxiety: “ohhhhhh”

Joshua - What do you think of my descriptious feeds? http://jonaquino.textdriven.com/descriptious/descriptious-delicious-popular.html They augment the delicious/popular feeds with user-entered descriptions.
It’s a way to get some more mileage out of those valuable extended descriptions.

What, “hurm” is not on the list?

What’s with the patio chairs? :)

“you should go a LITTLE higher-class than $5 plastic chairs from Wal-mart.”
Yeah, when I was in a startup, we had ‘task chairs’ that cost $15-20 each!!! Of course, they tended to fall apart after completing one task.

im pretty sure its Tabernak… :)
Pam | May 12 2005 at 1:12 pm
No, it’s definitely tabernac =) “Colis!” is another good one.
A real Quebecois | May 12 2005 at 3:20 pm
Sorry guys. The real word is “tabernacle”, but it’s *definetly* pronounced as “tabarnak” when meant as a swear.

Looks like they spent their ‘chair money’ on those 2005FPWs? Maybe?
Were I in their shoes, I’d do the same. Them’re pretty monitors.
Matt | May 12 2005 at 6:46 pm
hey guys c’mon, sort your chairs out.

I’m another one who noticed that you guys all have dual flat screens but you cut corners on the chairs. Looking at the curvature of your spines and bad posture in that photo I can almost feel the back-pain that lurks in your future.
You can get pretty decent no-name office chairs from just about any decent second hand office furniture shop in the western world.

“hmmm… cats…” - it’s a good one.

Please be advised that “hlagaglhalgahlghlag” is a registered catchphrase of our client, a homeless New York City schizophrenic who carries around a sign reading, “Ninjas Killed My Family, I Need Money for Kung-Fu Lessons!” Please cease and desist from uttering this or any substantially equivalent guttural utterance in the course of earning your living with this freaky little gizmo of yours.
Not!

There’s no way you can code with patio chairs. That’s just not physically possible.
There seems to be a few quebecers ’round here. Let me correct y’all. It’s “Calisse”, “Tabarnac”, “Osti” or “Esti”, “Crisse” and various combinations of them, as in the phrase “Crisse d’esti d’tabarnac de calisse de point-virgule a marde.”.
Peace out.
kinetik | May 13 2005 at 1:57 pm
Criss d’esti d’tabarnak de caliss de saint-sacrament d’osti de point-virgule du tabarnack sale!!!
j’nai tu oublier un? :P
Markus | May 13 2005 at 8:09 pm
That looks like danish, but backwards…
Jeremy Zawodny | May 16 2005 at 6:31 pm
I like the chairs. :-)
Tone Capone | May 20 2005 at 11:50 am
Cant believe this one didnt make it:
“das odd…”

“Shwarbl Shwarb”

This technique cut’s down on the swearing. At least three times a day: vicious nose picking. Don’t forget to flick the boogers at your CPU.

“ok, it compiles” “you mean it works?” “i mean IT COMPIIIIILESSSSSS”
Jason Dufair | Jul 29 2005 at 6:16 pm
Where’s the paypal link to donate some chairs!?!
